Effect of non-sucrose sweet tasting solution on neonatal heel prick responses.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A substance commercially described as 'sugar free,' used as a sweetener for paracetamol suspension, was evaluated on measures of neonatal pain. Sixty infants were randomly allocated to receive one of four solutions before heel stab blood sampling: sterile water (placebo); 25 or 50% sucrose (weight/volume); and the commercial sweet-tasting solution. There was a significant reduction in crying time and pain score 3 minutes after the painful stimulus in all groups compared with the controls. It is concluded that this sweet-tasting solution has analgesic effects as potent as those of concentrated sucrose solutions.

Introduction: Certain painful, invasive procedures are necessary for care, and are commonly performed in both healthly and sick neonates. Current evidence shows that the newborn infant has both physiologic and anatomic capacity to experience pain. Recent research suggests that pain experienced in the neonatal period might have long-term effects later in life. Previous research has shown that or...
متن کاملDifferential gurmarin suppression of sweet taste responses in rat solitary nucleus neurons.
We examined the effect of the sweet transduction blocker gurmarin on taste responses recorded from neurons in the rat solitary nucleus (NST) to determine how gurmarin sensitivity is distributed across neuronal type. Initially, responses evoked by washing the anterior tongue and palate with 0.5 M sucrose, 0.1 M NaCl, 0.01 M HCl, and 0.01 M quinine-HCl were recorded from 35 neurons. For some cell...
متن کاملReduction of pain response in premature infants using intraoral sucrose.
The potential of sucrose to reduce the pain response in a group of healthy premature infants was investigated. Fifteen infants of 32-34 weeks postmenstrual age were tested in a blind crossover manner on two separate occasions no more than two days apart. Either 1 ml of 25% sucrose solution or sterile water was syringed into the baby's mouth 2 minutes before routine heel lancing. Response to the...
متن کامل"Sucrose analgesia": absorptive mechanism or taste perception?
It remains unclear whether "sucrose analgesia" is related to a pre- or postabsorptive mechanism. In a double blind cross over study sucrose reduced the pain response of preterm infants exposed to heel prick blood samples only when it was administered into the mouth. It was ineffective when administered intragastrically.
متن کاملSugaring the pill: ethics and uncertainties in the use of sucrose for newborn infants.
Sucrose is widely used for the management of procedural pain in newborn infants, including capillary blood sampling, venepuncture, and vascular cannulation. Multiple randomized controlled trials have demonstrated that sweet-tasting solutions reduce behavioral responses to acute painful stimuli. It has been claimed that sucrose should be a standard of care in neonatal units and that further plac...
